Chapter 8: The Cocoon Breaks
There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the cold and heat are a year.
On the moonlit night of this day, after Qiuqiu was full of saliva of life and death as usual, he quietly lay on the ground and guarded the cocoon that had not moved for a year. The surface of the cocoon has been covered with dust, and it has long since lost its former glory, and it is still gray.
Squinting Qiuqiu waited for sleepiness to come, since he knew that the water could make him sleep, Qiuqiu was in love with this thing, however, as time went on, the effect was getting weaker and weaker, and now, Qiuqiu had to force himself to calm down, and it would take a while to fall asleep. Today, though, is not destined to be so peaceful.
"Click!" was as Qiuqiu struggled to put himself to sleep, when suddenly a faint sound reached his ears.
"Wow!", Qiuqiu immediately fell asleep, his whole body trembled, and he was in a state of drowsiness, and his black and shiny eyes stared motionlessly at the big cocoon that had not moved for a long time.
I saw that the surface of the cocoon suspended in the air gradually appeared a trace of cracks, which were very subtle, but as time passed, the cracks were more and more, and with the sound of "pop", the shell of the cocoon could not bear its own weight and peeled off.
When the shell was completely detached, I saw a transparent light mask of about five feet floating in the air, wrapped in a body, defenseless, with light and tender skin, occasionally a trace of red light flashing on the surface of the skin, black hair up to the shoulders, and a comfortable smile hanging on the corner of the mouth, which made people see it, and inevitably had the illusion of a fresh breeze.
Yes, this person is Zitong, twelve-year-old Zitong, compared to a year ago, he is much taller, especially the smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he has forgotten the hatred of the past and returned to the sunny teenager. The wounds on the left leg and chest also recovered unconsciously during the year.
Standing under the cocoon of the ball, see the figure of their master, but is excited to run around, in a burst of "squeak" scream, the hole is no longer visible Qiuqiu's figure, only occasionally see a white with red light and shadow in the rapid shuttle, if the speed of a year ago is compared with it, it is simply slow as a turtle beast.
Xu was released after the tea time, and the emotional Qiuqiu finally stopped running, but he stopped on the transparent light cocoon, staring at the child in it with big eyes, waiting for him to wake up.
Finally, about half an hour later, Zitong's eyelashes in the cocoon finally moved, slowly opened his eyes, by the moonlight, the first thing that caught his eye was the little head of Qiuqiu, who was full of anticipation, seeing Qiuqiu, the smile on the corner of Zitong's mouth was infinitely enlarged, full of joy.
Who can understand what it is like to see a playmate who has always accompanied him after experiencing such a process where he does not know life and death.
That's a kind of recognition, a kind of unreserved fetters that you have abandoned yourself, but there are still people waiting for you to turn back. At this moment, Zitong knew that Qiuqiu was no longer his playmate, and on this shijie, he was the persistence and watchfulness worth guarding!
Thinking of this, Zitong also stretched out his hands anxiously, as he did on weekdays, and let the ball jump into his arms. However, when he made this action, he found that his hands could not reach out at all, this seemingly thin transparent film cover, with a strong extension force, the surface of the outstretched hands was tightly attached to the film, completely blocking the touch.
Seeing this, Zitong smiled self-deprecatingly, indeed, he was a little anxious. It wasn't just him who was anxious, but the ball outside was even more impatient, constantly stabbing at the light film with his sharp claws, disappointingly, every time it was useless.
The child boy inside saw that the ball ball was so crazy, and at the same time he was relieved, he also waved his hand, this kind of light film cover, like the shell of an egg, is difficult to tear from the outside, and its breakthrough point is still in the people inside, although it also takes a lot of effort, but compared to the ball outside, the child inside will undoubtedly save a lot of effort.
"Drink!"
With Zitong's loud shout, he concentrated all his liliang on his right hand, clenched his fist and hit forward, just when Zitong concentrated Liliang in his right fist, his fist suddenly burst red, and the light was dazzling.
"Poof!"
When Zitong punched the light film, he heard a slight cracking sound, and he was easily opened, and Zitong quickly drilled out of the tear, for fear that he would come out too late and be locked in again. And the torn membrane gradually turned black and slowly fell to the ground.
The child who had just landed on the ground immediately felt a heat on his shoulder, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Qiuqiu who hugged his shoulders tightly, and the white hair on his body made him feel warm.
"Huh?" Zitong sighed lightly, noticing the red hair on the top of the little guy's head, and he clearly remembered that Qiuqiu didn't have this before.
"It seems that a short time has passed! Qiuqiu has also grown up a lot!" Zitong thought to himself. "I don't know what's going on out there now, really, it's not going to let me die of old age here!"
Zitong followed the moonlight and looked at the exit of the cave roof, which was still very high. It didn't matter if he looked up, he immediately felt a cold swish on his body, and when he looked down, he realized that he was naked.
"Ahh So, someone let go・・・・・・・
Zitong, who woke up, felt bored, trapped here, and couldn't get out, how to talk about finding his sister, how to find out the murderer for revenge?
"Alas!" As soon as he thought of this, most of the excitement that had just rushed out of the package disappeared immediately, and he sat down on the ground sullenly. Zitong, who had just sat down, suddenly heard the cry of "cooing", "It's over, there is no food in this ghost place, can this be done?"
At this time, Qiuqiu, who heard the sound of "cooing", was smart and pulled Zitong towards the direction of the pool, "Qiuqiu, why are you pulling me, there is no food here! Huh? No, then how did you survive?" Zitong finally sensed that something was wrong.
Then I saw Qiuqiu run to the pool, take a big sip of the pool water, and then look at Zitong with satisfaction. "Is this okay?" Seeing this boy was also surprised, the pool water had brought him a lot of uncertain things, and until now, he was a little afraid of the water.
But seeing that Qiuqiu was safe and sound, Zitong also went to give it a try. "Goo" with a mouthful, Zitong didn't feel anything unusual, just a very refreshing look, with the help of Zitong is a ruthless "good meal".
Zitong, who was full of drink, looked along the pond Xiangshang, with the help of the moonlight, the rock wall where black flowers originally grew was now bare, and there was nothing, but he didn't know Weishenme, seeing this rock wall, Zitong just wanted to rush over, as if it was a door, a door that could escape.
Zitong shook his head, he couldn't believe this idea in his heart, and he was very confident that the idea of wanting to go out was so strong that he hallucinated.
Zitong shook his head while looking for a smooth place, ready to rest, since he couldn't go out, he had to take care of his spirits and try to find a way tomorrow. But the boy who shook his head was suddenly stunned, and quickly ran towards a place, as if he had found something.
"This thing, it's so amazing!" ran back to the place where the mask film fell, looking at the originally transparent light film, which was now as black as ink, Zitong sighed, "Oh, yes, wow, isn't this a ready-made dress!"
Speaking, he directly found the dagger that fell to the ground, and cut it in a decent way, although the membrane was originally very tough, but when there was a hole, it was very convenient to cut, Zitong tried to use a knife to stab a few times to the complete surface of the membrane, leaving no traces after death, it seems that compared to before, this defense is much stronger.
After a stick of incense, Zitong in tight black clothes stood up, originally he wanted to make a long robe, but the materials were limited, so he had to piece together a pair of close-fitting clothes, although it looked tight, but Zitong did not have the slightest sense of tightness, roughly because the clothes themselves were of the same origin as him, and it was as if he was not wearing them, and there was no obstacle at all.
The child who had everything in order lay quietly on a smooth ground, staring at the moonlight above his head, time passed slowly, and finally when Zuihou dragged his tail and swayed away, the cave fell into darkness again.
"I can't go on like this, I have to go out tomorrow!" Zitong, who couldn't sleep, was still thinking of a way to get out.
Suddenly, Zitong remembered something as if he had been electrocuted, and immediately turned over and hit the rock wall in front of him with all his strength. Suddenly, the cave glowed red, and Zitong excitedly looked at his fiery right fist, feeling that his strength at this time could shake the mountain, omnipotent, and could blow the rock in front of him with one punch.
In his unbelievable eyes, Zitong moved his gaze to the rock wall, wanting to get closer to try how powerful it was, but when he wanted to take a step, a feeling of dizziness hit, and in a trance, Zitong saw the red light of his fist flashing and rushed towards the rock wall.
"Boom!" a loud bang struck the cave with a strong shaking. But these children don't know it. He had already fainted due to detachment, and he had never seen someone who had been accumulating strength for so long without dispersing, and such a fierce collision of muscles and veins could not be withstood by the newly awakened child.
But this is not completely without effect, this charged blow is enough to be comparable to the power of a martial artist's peak punch, in order to cause such a big movement.
In the darkness, on the opposite wall, there was a crevice that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
